Missing Menu Bar Items

[uncleiven]

Possibly me being stupid but how can you see/access menu bar items that are enabled but aren't showing due to lack of space?

I usually run Bartender (through Setapp) but it still doesn't appear to be working with macOS 26 yet.

Cheers

you could use the free hidden bar app (it's worked for me thru all the tahoe betas); at least, until bartender is updated...

EDIT: you can also move wifi and bluetooth to control center (& still have access from that menubar item)..

You can do it with terminal commands, but I use a small app to shrink the gap between icons.

I’ve been using Ice and that’s been working for me on macOS 26, although for me, only the option to expand hidden icons works. There’s an option to have a drop down bar like Bartender has, but that doesn’t work for me…

Ice - Menu Bar Manager

Ice is a powerful menu bar management tool. While its primary function is hiding and showing menu bar items, it aims to cover a wide variety of additional features to make it one of the most versatile menu bar tools available. - Ice - Menu Bar Manager

Bartender has not been updated yet to work with Tahoe. That being said, have you gone into Settings - Menu Bar and checked what items are enabled? I went through and turned off a bunch of items that I don't need to see in the menu bar, which freed up space for the ones I do need there.

While I am not on the beta yet (considering the first public beta though), I have seen there's an alpha for Bartender allegedly working on Tahoe.
